Obligatory should have done that vs Florida comment

Florida would have been our 4th win, not our 10th.

From here forward, whenever I am whining about having a bad day, I will think to myself it isn't worse than the day Sherone Moore had on December 10 2025.

Thanks Michigan! Y'all are real pals.

You might want to check the Sark thread and late in the Arch thread.

There is now a divide of back to back CFPs put it on the wall, better than Herman or Strong, and we can't do any better vs the math and behaviors compared against any equal level spenders doesn't work out, the plans are shitty, the position coaches suck and we need better results group. So, pretty much like every time Texas makes a bad football HC hire there is the fear of change head in the sand, rah rah support your coach and the our coach is not good divisions. It takes absolute failure for the yay team guys to see the light, every time. No amount of data will sway them.

Reminds me of our long conversation about Tom Mensa Herman. We both knew he was hype hire bullshit.  Passed that along to a few boosters I know and they were not amused

 Started parroting hermans agents talking points.

Serious question, why wouldn't the citrus bowl happen? Transfer portal doesn't open till Jan 2. 

Their players could start opting out for the bowl game without committing to anything beyond the bowl game.

Why would they do that? They only need like 50 to play.

Texas will barely be mentioned during the game because the entire focus will be on the poor UM players. 

One last chance to improve their value before entering the portal.

It’s possible….  aggy used the Covid card to avoid playing Wake Forrest a few years ago, but the real reason  they lost  a boatload of scholarship players to the portal and injuries and were in a spiral the last few weeks of the their season.

We should do what UGA did to Florida State a few years ago in their bowl game.    

No mercy.

No one in 2004 or 2025 gives a shit about the Citrus Bowl or Alamo Bowl. Even less of a shit now since we actually have a playoff

I give a shit!

But only because the Pop Tart Bowl and Cheezit Bowl are good fun. It has that minor league baseball charm going for it. And Texas is playing.

Everything doesn't have to be so meaningful and serious all the time. We can just have a fun football game.

Fine by me. I want us to go in there, win, get good reps for next year's contributors, no injuries, and bounce. So much fucking drama this post season. I want us to just waltz our way down the high road.

Football used to be fun and now it’s playoffs or this year was a miserable failure, fire everyone, any player who didn’t play perfect should fuck off and die.

Duke’s Mayo Bowl would also be fun. WR room could dump mayo all over the coach’s wife postgame.

Texas fans expectations have always been make conference championship game and hopefully win. They have also expected Texas somewhere in or very close to top 10.

Failing that has always created consternation among Texas fans and they aren't alone. Michigan, Bama, OSU, ND, OU etc etc etc all expected that prior to the CFP. When they didn't yes, there was lots of frustration and anger.

Meeting those expectations would get a Texas or any of the other teams in the CFP, just ask Bama. However, now, rather than 1 or 2 bowl games that determine "the best team" with 90% subjective criteria of mediots the teams actually get to play it out.

People love to bemoan the CFP, the committee and yearn for yesteryear. Well, the world hasn't changed THAT much, just the voters have much less on final say on the national champion than the actual teams.

That's a good thing.

I’m well aware of Texas fans’ expectations. And many of us had our hopes up we’d sneak in and make the playoffs but we didn’t 

There should be some nuance here - everything kept going wrong for us - Arch needed 4-5 weeks to get comfortable, our OL/run game wasn’t good, we had injuries at bad times. We still finish 9-3, beat all our rivals and are going to the highest tier non-CFP bowl

BUT - We can still have fun and enjoy the bowl ride. And then hop into the expectations coaster again in August.

I mean fair. But I came to terms with the fact that we almost certainly weren't going to make the playoffs during the 4th quarter of the Georgia game. So I knew we were going to some Bowl Game.

I am going to make the best of it. I am well aware this is a glorified scrimmage. I am at least glad it is something goofy like the Cheezit Bowl. That just good fun.

I still really hope we win. Because I can't help it. I am just a fan who wants to see Texas win.

I'm excited about playing Michigan and many others are too. I'll be even more excited when changes to address the issues of last year regarding coaching staff are addressed. 

BUT - 2 of our 3 rivals are in the CFP and I reserve the right to be twitchy about that reality.

Why not both tacos. Being excited about the bowl doesn't exempt me from wanting changes so we aren't in the same boat next year.

This matchup had potential to be THE prime example of why bowls should stick around in the playoff era.  Even with opt-outs and transfers, people will still watch a 9-3 Texas vs. 9-3 Michigan battle of the bluebloods.  So the CFP system screwed the pooch and gave you shitty first round matchups with JMU and Tulane... can I interest you in a contest between the number one and number five all-time winningest programs as an amuse-bouche on NYE before the semi-final games?

Now it just feels gross.  People will still watch for the trainwreck, but it won't be good old-fashioned CFB fun as it should be.

I think even more people will watch now. If Michigan doesn’t pull out (ayo)

I don't doubt it.. but it's not that pure CFB experience that really sells a bowl.  How many Michigan fans travel for this?

Sure... under normal circumstances, that's a major factor.  But enthusiasm for the program has got to be at a historic nadir with the events of the last couple of weeks, and especially the last 24 hrs.

  • Missed playoffs
  • Dominated by main rival at home in last game of the season
  • Utterly embarrassing sequence of events around the Head Coach's firing that completely dominates sports media

Honestly, if the shoe was on the other foot, I'd have a hard time wearing my Longhorn gear out in public for a while.

Hey so I really hope we play and destroy Michigan but if they drop out or are uninvited (is that even possible?), they should try to get Notre Dame.  They've got an opening on their calendar and it would be great to beat down the domers.

What? It use to be that the minute one lost 1 game the feeling of crap another year of not winning the MNC is very likely and this season sucks! Therefore in the past there was time to recover and enjoy the season for what it was since a second or third loss did not change the predicament. Now that feeling only happens toward the end of the season once it is clear it is over and it lingers for the entire off-season. Now tell me did you enjoy that Colorado loss?
